I got this for a walking trip in Italy, coupled with a Canon G9 compact camera. Compared with earlier Gitzo models, the quick lock feature really stands out. Another plus is the ability to remove the center column to get close to the ground. from Bhphotovideo.com Took this tripod fitted with a small Gitzo mag ball head on a six day backpack trip in the Olympic Nat Park and it was the best piece of equipment I had. Despite it's light weight this is an extermely stable tripod even on unstable waterfall rocks. from Adorama.com Took this tripod fitted with a small Gitzo mag ball head on a six day backpack trip in the Olympic Nat Park and it was the best piece of equipment I had. Despite it's light weight this is an extermely stable tripod even on unstable waterfall rocks. from Adorama.com It's a bit pricey but hard to beat it in stability to weight ratio. I think it's overkill if you have a camera that's less than 2 pounds, but if you need an ultralight, stable tripod and have a camera/lens combo more than 2 pounds this tripod is fantastic! I had a Velbon Maxi 343E tripod before that's about the same weight, is taller (4 sections vs the 3 on the Gitzo), but also more wobbly. That tripod worked fine when I had a lighter camera/lens combo (Canon Rebel XT & 17-55mm - 2.5 lb) but with heavier camera (Canon 5D MkII & 24-70mm - 4 lb), I needed something more stable. from Amazon.com I just received my new Gitzo GT0530 tripod. I am using am Amvona titaniam ballhead that I already own while waiting for my new Markins M10. from Amazon.com took this tripod fitted with a small gitzo mag ball head on a six day backpack trip in the olympic nat park and it was the best piece of equipment i had. from Adorama.com despite it's light weight this is an extermely stable tripod even on unstable waterfall rocks. from Adorama.com perfect for a super lite weight backpacking tripod. from Bhphotovideo.com mine is always in my backpack when i am out walking. from Bhphotovideo.com everything i need will be carried on my back, so weight is important. from Bhphotovideo.com
